Hot hot hot ... and sticky!

Sorry about my absence from the blogosphere. I think we've all been in a kind of limbo waiting for hot season to end. Usually we get storms bringing the first rains at latest by the end of May, but this year the rain is not in a hurry to get here. We have had some dust-storms, which we hoped would turn into rain storms, but they didn't, or they just brought a few drops. We've seen storms passing us to the north and the west as well, and they send a bit of cooler air our way for a few hours. But otherwise it is still hot and sticky, and we're getting very tired of it!

The rain we had at the beginning of May got the grass growing, but it has now turned yellow and dried up. So it's still very dry around here. We also got most of the big trees in our compound cut back rather drastically, so it all looks rather bleak around here! The kids are happy though, as the big logs have been left as climbing frames!
